One time when I was a kid I went to a birthday party for my friend Jesse and his dad came into the room with a baby picture of the him naked in the bath for all his friends to laugh at. Jesse threw a fit, ran out of the room in tears, and we all stood around awkwardly while his dad chuckled to himself.

I would imagine the same thing never happened to Spencer Elden, the name behind music's most iconic naked baby image. All Spencer's friends have been inundated with his naked babyness since they themselves were babies. Spencer is 17 years old now, it seems. His parents were paid about $200 to allow him to be dunked in a pool and photographed for the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind.
